Megane-kun, Surprised by Laila's Co up the ith Laila, we started searching and rass These are re by The width is wider than that of a hue, like a bear, had passed through

Four fine lines that faintly gauged the soil These are footprints It's a sign that the quadruped beast walked with its claws stretched out

And then, the s an ani eaten its meal

We still can't conclude if it's a redbear or not, but there is nobear-y

—Rather, I think we're on the right track It's only just an intuition of h

「It must be this one Shall we chase after it?」

Laila nods It see that the fight is close at hand It's still too soon to get stiffened up, though

From this point onwards, I'll be the one who leads We then erased our presence, tracking the ani my presence, but Laila is still completely exposed so I don't kno effective an to feel a presence that fits our criteriaIt feels like it's theto so noises」

It's fine even it's still far, I want to get closer until it's in my view If I don't move to ascertain my prey with ht run away for realAs of now, there's still a possibility that it ht be a nor requires prudence Rather, one should always careful before entering the fray

If I was not with Laila, I would have certainly approached the target until it enterstakes precedence

「Is it there?」

「I'll go to confiruard coer than an adult human Its red hide was blurred with dirt as it walked away, not noticing our presence at all It's a Redbear I see it at a glance Let's refrain fro it any further since our position could be uncovered if it caught a human smell or noticed Laila's exposed presence

「Laila」

I hide in the shades as to get out of the redbear's sight, then pulled Laila's aret」

「U, un, …I-, is it close?」

As it's hidden behind a tree, it's certainly closeHowever, I don't think that that's e should be concerned with Were I to carelessly attack it now, it'd maul me and killclose This matter must be because I'm still inexperienced My life is more important that Laila's request, so I'll continue withoutit

If the battle environment isn't in a somewhat open area, it's unsuited for usBut, if the place is too open, then we'll lose our cover, so that's unsuited also It's a bad ht head-on too I can't do such a hunt

「Go back to that bonfire remains, then wait on top of a tree I'll draw the redbear to you」

If I say it that far, even Laila will knohat to do

「And I'll be the one to target the redbear while you draw aggro, right?」

That will be so

After I nodded, Laila replied「Got that」 before swiftly returning back the e cah that she doesn't have shortness of breath despite having been walking allThe rest, after all, depends on her experience And that too, she's doing what she's doing because she wants an actual battle experience

Well, that'll be fine as long as she does her best in the future

—Now then

I waited until Laila's presence went far off, before wielding my bow I don't like to torment my prey, but this time it's Laila's practice and not a hunt I hope to respond to her request asthe bowstring so I could set it off anytiht the redbear in ht for the second time, without a moment's hesitation, I exposedfor a ain
